    Summary

    Living in Gotham wasn’t nice. It wasn’t fun. But Percy was alive, even though now he only had ten dollars to his name after spending some money on a box of plastic water bottles so he didn’t have to resort to drinking harbour water.

    Little by little, Percy began to get his bearings and become familiar with the city.

    Then the vigilante guy in the bat costume and his neon sidekick broke into the warehouse Percy was staying in.

    --

    Nine-year-old Percy Jackson runs away to avoid being killed by monsters like Sally and Gabe, accidentally winding up in Gotham. Bruce's "child with a traumatic backstory" senses activate and Percy gets adopted. It's a nonlinear story, with half of each chapter taking place before the Second Gigantomachy, and half of them taking place after, when Percy returns to Gotham.

    Summary

    Being related to Bruce Wayne had its ups and downs. Being a demigod made that all the more difficult.
    Percy Jackson, son of Sally Jackson, formally Wayne, lived with his uncle Bruce from age seven to fifteen, before the realities of being a demigod made it clear that there was no place for him in Gotham.

    Two years later, Percy had lived through two great prophecies, multiple wars, and Tartarus, and just wanted to feel safe again.
    So, he decided to go back home, even with the bat infestation.

    Summary

    Lando Norris used to be the guy you lost yourself to at 3 a.m. in a club: DJ, producer, professional burnout in progress. Then the crash, the rehab, the very nearly not-making-it.

    Now he lives above a wildlife hospital on the Cornish coast, making coffee for exhausted vets and writing quiet, bird-soaked tracks no one’s supposed to hear. It’s small, and disciplined, and safe. Mostly.

    Oscar Piastri is the vet who signed off on admitting him as “not technically avian” and never quite recovered from it. He likes order, risk assessments, and patients who can’t sneak off to sit on sea walls and flirt with catastrophic decisions. Unfortunately, he also likes Lando.

    When a BBC documentary and live show — Tidal Line Live: Sea & Sanctuary — offers Lando a way back onto a stage, everyone has an opinion. Trustees see headlines. Old managers smell money. Lando feels the old hunger in his bones. Oscar feels sick.

    This is a story about what comes after the crisis: about recovery as a practice, about found family in a small hospital full of broken birds, and about two people learning how to stay — with themselves, and with each other.

    Summary

    In the days of the Great Depression, Jackie Taylor was beloved by millions of moviegoers across the country. She was a goddess of Old Hollywood, the all-American girl, queen of the silver screen. Like so many of the old-time starlets, her reality was not as rosy as the fantasy the studio sold. Her name is remembered today as much for the quiet tragedy of her private life as for her classic films.

    Shauna Shipman is mostly forgotten. She was nevertheless once a star in her own right. One of the radical writers who flourished in the 1930s, her novels sketched the grim reality of slum life and the trenches of the Great War in vivid color. She reported from picket lines, from the dark heart of fascist Germany, and from the battlefields of war-ravaged Spain.

    Little as they shared in common, Shipman and Taylor defined each other's lives. Decades after their deaths, enough documentation has surfaced to piece together the long-forgotten connection between these two women. It is presented here through yellowed newspaper, through musty transcripts, through the cloudy reminisces of those wished they knew them, and those who thought they did.

    Summary

    Evernox Academy had stood for hundreds of years, originally built to train and protect those born with magical abilities. Within its halls, generations had come and gone, each learning to harness gifts that marked them different from the rest of the world.

    Abilities were varied there where telepaths who could hear thoughts like whispers in the wind, teleporters who vanished with a blink, healers whose hands could seal wounds and stop pain in seconds. There were those who could manipulate fire, water, air, and even the ground itself, others who walked unseen through crowds with invisibility, and a few who changed their very forms, shifting into animals with a shiver of magic.

    But there was one ability that was whispered about more than praised.

    Telekinesis.

    The rarest of them all.

    Those born with it could move objects with the power of their mind alone, bend the world to their will with a thought. But that strength came at a cost. Telekinesis didn’t just challenge the body, it tested the mind. Power like that came with consequences.

    There was only one telekinetic currently enrolled at evernox academy.

    Lando.
